I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!

I am no longer needed.
I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!
I'm looking forward to putting my knowledge to work for you!
Four years of medical school meant Richard couldn't escape quantitative reasoning — dosage calculations, biostatistics, interpreting clinical data — all under the kind of exam pressure that mirrors a timed SAT. He channels that into SAT Math prep by teaching students to work through the section's ratio, percentage, and data-table questions with the same systematic precision a clinician uses to avoid costly errors. His biochemistry degree ensures the algebra and problem-solving fundamentals are second nature.
I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!
I am in the process of selecting a masters program in education that will begin this summer. I have 2 years experience doing 1 on 1 tutoring and it is very effective compared to classroom teaching because there is only one student to focus on. I look forward to working with you and helping you or your child get better. Always remember, even the best of us need help and support from others to be successful.
Psychology and linguistics both demand rigorous data interpretation — Sherry's UChicago coursework in experimental design and statistical analysis maps directly onto the SAT Math section's tables, scatterplots, and percentage questions. Her perfect 1600 SAT means she's mastered every corner of the test, but she zeroes in on the geometry and advanced math problems where students most often misread what's being asked, using her linguist's instinct to untangle the SAT's deliberately tricky phrasing. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am currently studying molecular biology and I hope to work at a pediatric hospital after graduating from medical school. As an undergraduate, I am involved in volunteering organizations, photography, dance companies, and Asian-American political organizations.
Scoring a 1570 on the SAT, Joey knows the Math section inside and out — from the no-calculator questions that test algebraic fluency to the data-analysis problems that reward careful reading. He teaches students to recognize question patterns and avoid common traps, turning timed practice into a strategic exercise rather than a frantic race.
Violet's 1550 SAT and her math degree from Brown mean she can diagnose exactly where a student's algebra or data analysis gaps are costing them points on SAT Math. She teaches the handful of non-obvious techniques — backsolving, strategic plugging-in, unit analysis on word problems — that turn 650-range scores into 750+ scores. Her style leans heavily on shortcuts that make the no-calculator section feel less like a time crunch.
Scoring an 800 on SAT Math means knowing when to use algebra and when a strategic shortcut is faster. Katie earned a perfect 1600 composite and unpacks each problem type — from polynomial functions to coordinate geometry — with an emphasis on the decision-making that saves time under pressure. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.
Scoring a 1570 SAT himself, James knows exactly where the SAT Math section sets its traps — the passport-to-advanced-math questions that bury quadratic relationships in word problems, or the data-analysis questions that test statistical reasoning more than arithmetic. He breaks each problem type into a recognition step and an execution step so students stop second-guessing themselves under time pressure. His calculus and chemistry background means no student's question goes beyond his reach.
Engineering coursework at Washington and Lee gave Alex daily practice with the exact math the SAT tests at its hardest level: systems of equations, quadratic modeling, and interpreting complex data tables. He scored a 1590 composite and now teaches students to distinguish between problems that reward algebraic manipulation and those better solved by plugging in values or back-solving. That strategic flexibility is often what separates a 700 from a 780.
Medical school at Baylor means Michelle solves quantitative problems under brutal time constraints every day — and her 1570 SAT proves she's already mastered doing exactly that on the test her students are preparing for. She zeroes in on the algebraic modeling and geometry questions where a biochemistry background actually helps, teaching students to treat each problem like a lab setup: identify the variables, find the relationship, then solve cleanly without second-guessing.
Years of music performance training — sight-reading, pattern recognition, working under pressure — gave Vivian an unusual edge on timed math tests, and her 1530 SAT backs that up. She's especially sharp on the algebra-to-geometry crossover questions where students need to visualize what an equation actually represents, a skill she builds by teaching students to sketch before they solve. Rated 4.9 by students.
Katherine scored a 1500 on the SAT and knows the Math section inside out, from the no-calculator portion's emphasis on algebraic manipulation to the calculator section's data-analysis and modeling questions. She digs into the specific concept gaps that cost students points — whether that's systems of equations, quadratic behavior, or tricky word problems involving ratios and percentages. Her approach is to build fluency with the question formats so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar.
I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see gains of 50-150 points with focused preparation. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—and targeting those through consistent practice. A tutor can help you pinpoint gaps and develop a personalized study plan that maximizes your improvement timeline.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face, since you have about 1.4 minutes per question on average. Expert tutors teach you to prioritize easier problems first, skip strategically, and use process-of-elimination on harder questions rather than getting stuck. Practice tests are essential—they help you build speed while maintaining accuracy, and tutors can review your test performance to identify where you're losing time.
Louisville students typically struggle with algebra (especially multi-step equations and systems), word problems, and geometry/trigonometry concepts. Many students also struggle with the calculator-free section or misunderstand how to approach grid-in questions. A tutor can diagnose your specific challenges through diagnostic testing and focus your study time on the areas that will have the biggest impact on your score.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to understand your current skills, identify knowledge gaps, and determine your target score. The tutor will review your results, discuss your timeline and goals, and create a customized study plan that focuses on high-impact topics. This foundation helps ensure every session afterward is efficient and directly supports your score improvement.
Practice tests are critical—they build familiarity with question formats, help you develop realistic pacing, and reveal patterns in your mistakes. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions mimics test day and reduces anxiety. Tutors use your practice test results to guide instruction, so you're not just practicing blindly but learning from every mistake you make.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about your approach to problems. Working with a tutor builds confidence through targeted skill-building, familiarity with question types, and proven strategies for staying calm under pressure. Tutors also teach you how to manage your mindset during the test—knowing when to move on, how to breathe through tough moments, and trusting your preparation.
Most students benefit from 3-5 hours of focused study per week over 8-12 weeks, though your timeline depends on your starting score and target. Quality matters more than quantity—consistent, targeted practice beats cramming. A tutor helps you use your study time efficiently by prioritizing the topics and strategies that will move your score the most.
